No dia 24 de Fevereiro de 2015 aconteceu o (primeiro dia do) VII Simpósio de Análise Numérica e Otimização. Participei deste congresso fazendo uma apresentação sobre Ferramentas Computacionais para Pesquisadores (ver código).
Nesta apresentação, introduzo algumas ferramentas que considero bastante importantes para pesquisadores, principalmente da área de matemática computacional. Um resumo do que apresento é
Aprenda outras linguagens. Recomendo, por exemplo, conhecer Python ou Ruby, Shell e Makefile. Com essas ferramentas já é possível automatizar testes e fazer scripts com uso variado.

About an year ago,
Raniere
started working on a interface for
CUTEst.
He decided to create ugly,
a repository for CUTEst, but following the Unix procedure for
building packages (./configure, make, make install).
Also with ugly, he wanted to enable building a shared library
to be used with Julia.
This approach worked, but maintaining it is troublesome,
since it would require updating and testing of ugly for every
update of CUTEst.

What I decided to do was find a way to create a shared library
from a working CUTEst installation.
This focuses on another principle: passing the blame, er,
I mean, modularity.
My package would simply take a working CUTEst and make a
working shared library from it.
It also served of downloading and installing a new CUTEst
installation, since this would be required for testing.
The work can be found at
cutest-julia-installer.
